Lifetime Manta Kayak

The Manta is designed for versatility, so it works perfectly for both solo and tandem paddling. The seating arrangement is flexible enough that you can comfortably paddle alone or with a partner.

Yes, it is rated for use in calm ocean bays, as well as lakes and slow-moving rivers. However, because it is a recreational kayak with an open cockpit, it is best suited for calm, tranquil conditions rather than rough surf or open water.

The Manta has a maximum weight capacity of 500 lbs. This makes it a robust option for two adults or an adult and a child, provided the combined weight of the passengers and gear stays within that limit.

Yes, the package includes two paddles and adjustable backrests, so you are ready to hit the water immediately. You will just need to provide your own personal flotation devices (PFDs).

The kayak weighs 73 lbs. While it is manageable for two people to carry using the molded handles, you may want a kayak cart if you plan on transporting it solo over long distances.

Scupper holes are small openings in the floor of the kayak that allow any water that splashes into the cockpit to drain out automatically. This helps keep you drier and prevents the kayak from taking on excess water while you are paddling.
